Use 1D source element data (results and current model with csv) to map to 2D/3D target elements.

1.Create/open a model containing 2D/3D target elements.
2.Create and define a field entity.
a.In the Model browser, right-click and select Create > Field from the context menu.
b.In the Entity Editor, set Source type to results file, or the current model with .csv file based results of temperature or displacements from 1D source elements.
3.Realize the field.
a.In the Model browser, right-click on the field and select Realize from the context menu.
b.In the Field Realization dialog, define realization settings.
•Set Field type to temperature or displacement.
•Set Interpolation to shapefunction.
•Select Loadcases, DataTypes, and DataComponents.
•Click Apply.
